Of course, you do have the right to come to judgement on anyone you want. I am not trying to sway the way a few people feel. Thing is, we work in an industry that is full of diversity and extremely multi-cultural.
Different culturals obviously speak different languages and what English they do speak is sometimes misinterpretted both ways.
I have traveled a great deal around the world and my tolerance is pretty high. I like to think that I am open to the way that others think or act.
Hans is a nice guy. He had some difficulty with communication on both ends. I am sure it is tough. I know that when I was in South America, I would at times, get pretty nervous when speaking spanish. I often ordered one thing and got another. In many places in Europe, people do drink a little more heavily and aren't very shy about it.
I am not trying to start anything with you. I like you as well. Just saying that maybe the people that had a bitter time with meeting him just got crossed up in miscommunication.
Just my
